Time 52m

Yield 40-48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 eggs
1 cup oil
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 1/2 cups flour

Steps:

  • Beat eggs well.
  • Add oil and sugar, beating well.
  • Beat in vanilla, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add flour.
  • Chill dough. May be chilled overnight but let it sit out a while so it is not so cold - The dough will be easier to work with (I didn't include chill time in the preparation time).
  • Roll dough onto floured board.
  • Cut into 3 inch rounds.
  • Place a heaping teaspoonful of filling.
  • I used Solo poppyseed filling, Solo apricot filling, seedless raspberry preserves, and chocolate chips - They were all yummy.
  • Take a little water and wet the outside area of the circle.
  • Draw up sides to form a triangle and pinch closed.
  • Place on parchment lined cookie sheets.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 7-10 minutes or until brown.

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease cookie sheets.
